However, plastic surgery can be a good thing for people who really have a medical reason to undergo those procedures. Changing one’s appearance based on society’s pressure is not necessary. Transition, connect this paragraph’s support to the thesis=topic sentence People, who undergo cosmetic procedures just because they think they have to,becauseother people had it done and because they think they have to keep up, are most likely not satisfied with the outcome. Cloud (2009) puts this statement to the test by saying that cosmetic surgery does not always make the person feel better. His article also points out that through different studies concluded in different countries, that women who get breast implants commit suicide at a much higher rate than women without those procedures, even so you(can’t use “you”) could say that women who undergo those procedures are already depressed to a certain level before the procedure.
MDMA should be reviewed and rescheduled due to the fact that the initial scheduling reports were flawed, there are vast medical uses for MDMA in treating patients who have shown no improvements with other psychological treatments, and there is a very low possibility of death amongst users of unadulterated MDMA. Why must we withhold a drug that can be so very useful for the treatment of extreme mental conditions and possibly cure thousands of Americans of their
I was not aware that several individuals were not obtaining the care they require for the reason they could not pay for it and couldn’t find insurance. The biggest influence is the health care price, health care entrance, and the consequences from it (Wood, R., 2009, p. 1). I’ve knowledge that breaking the HIPAA policies can result in punishment along with the government laws. Role of Technology Technology will perform a big position in the medical business from security, new services ideas and diagnosing patients, contacting patients and keeping touch. It will assist to make sure the obedience in the legal condition of health care and it will assist to decreased the costs and provide a superior care than before (Finnegan, 2012) Technology will assist with more communication services, electronic medical records, and more computers doctors order entry solutions and many more things than before (Finnegan, 2012).
Again, this is not a genuine choice, but a social issue, one that stems from how our society cares for its elders and for the poor, and whether minority groups can get good health care” (Lynn, 2006). People think that some people will be pressured into committing suicide instead of having other choices while they are dying. They think that people with no or poor health care will choose this just because they will cause less of a burden on their families. “A 1997 study conducted by the American Medical Association (AMA) found that more than half of Americans believe physician-assisted suicide should be legal. However, when people are told about alternatives to the technological treatments so many of us fear, and about the availability of pain control and hospice care, their support for physician-assisted suicide goes down to under one-fifth.
When asked about visiting the doctor to increase his medicine, Mr. Ramirez says he has not. Since increasing the dosage has helped, he does not feel a visit is necessary. (3) List the relevant values There are many things to consider in this case. One important value suggested is the welfare of the patient, which considers the moral rule to protect others from harm. I have good reason to believe that increasing the dosage without consent from the doctor will result in harm to the patient.
The body parts and organs that were named have been successful in treating the patient’s condition. Discuss whether or not these artificial organs can permanently replace the original human organ. I believe in this day and time, that completely ruling out regular transplant would not be fair because there are so many people waiting for a transplant. I feel as though artificial organs cannot permanently take the place of original human organs because a patient might not react as well to an original human organ rather than an artificial one. My theory also is that eventually people will start bidding on artificial organs and the richer people will have say over a family that doesn't have a lot of money.
The lock-in program would help lower the amount of people abusing prescription medication. The lock-in program would also ease the minds of physicians and pharmacists who are fighting a constant battle of keeping track of patients on controlled medications. Even though Americans will pay taxes on Medicaid regardless, many people would feel more at ease knowing their money wasn’t going toward funding the habits of drug abusers. Any patient that seeks assistance from Medicaid should be entered into the lock-in program to help lower the amount of controlled substance abuse, to ease the minds of doctors and pharmacists, and to ensure American tax dollars are spent more
Some doctors report that they feel obligated to provide a prescription to a patient, even when the cause of the illness is not yet proven to be bacterial (Bersch, 2010). In some countries, antibiotics are available without a prescription, further flooding the population with inappropriate medications without proper dosing and length of therapy (WHO, n.d.). This issue seems almost impossible to remedy, because in countries where access to medical care is limited, patients would otherwise die of simple infections if not for easy access to
Although the growing importance of these social value judgments may be acknowledged, we must not neglect individual patient values (Moore 2010). However, in daily practice, it is doctors who may incorporate these factors in their clinical decisions. Doctors make therapeutic decisions based on the available information for average patients, but they are aware that, sometimes, individual patient values may modify these decisions (Moore 2010). Patients may refuse a cancer treatment that is backed by clinical trial evidence and has positive cost-effectiveness, simply because they are reluctant to suffer the side effects of the therapy, or they may prefer avoiding an inconvenient preventive intervention because they are willing to take the bigger risk of getting the disease, or suffering the complication that the intervention sought to prevent (Moore 2010). Just as the scientific value judgments of organizations should be individualized for each patient by the doctor, social value judgments should be put within the perspective of individual value judgments (Moore 2010).
A physician job description is to aim at the provision of treatments with health benefits in the patient’s best interest, and to avoid adverse outcomes (Fiona Randall & Robin Downie 2010). Once a patient has died it is no coming back and the physician does not want this one their conscience when one day a cure could come along for terminally ill patients. Physicians are to heal and prolong life not take a life. Granted, physician assisted suicide if it does become legal it is still a decision left
